Evelyn's p.o.v.
"Where is he?", I ask, opening the door and looking around Hagrid's kitchen.
Thor frowns, "Who?"
"Your brother.", I say the moment Loki walks in the room.
"What's going on?", he asks, shifting his eyes from me to Thor.
"Did you know that Silver is from Asgard?", I ask, staring at him.
He frowns, "What?"
Pulling my gun put, I point it at his face, "You heard the question."
In that moment Thor jumps from his seat, placing his hand on my arm, trying to pin it down, "What are you doing?"
"There's no way in hell he didn't know about this.", I say, looking Thor and shaking my head.
"I didn't know that. If I did, I would have told you.", Loki speaks.
"Is that the truth?", Thor asks, letting go of my arm and walking towards him.
Loki rolls his eyes, "It is. Now tell her to remove the weapon before I loose my cool."
"Evelyn ...drop iy.", Thor tells seriously, looking at me.
"If I find out you're lying, we will see how immortal you really are.", I say, lowering my hand.
"You must be out of your mind to threaten a God.", he speaks, narrowing his eyes.
"If you wanted me dead, I would be dead ...but I'm not.", I say.
"Yet.", Loki hisses.
"Stop! You are behaving like children.", Severus speaks behind me.
"Children with heavy armory.", I hear Hagrid mumble.
"I suppose you bring some news to us.", Thor asks, looking at Severus.
"Silvers name is Ivar and he's from Asgard. That's everything I know."
Thor frowns, "Ivar? Asgard? He's from Asgard? Are you sure?", Thor asks him in disbelief and Severus nods.
Thor smiles, "That can't be right. It has to be a mistake ...Asgardians are peaceful people, good people."
"Yea, I can see that.", I say, pointing my head towards Loki.
"I was born on Jotunheim so technically I'm not Asgardian.", Loki informs me with a smirk.
I smile sarcastically.
"Is this the conversation we're having right now?", Thor asks, looking between me and Loki.
"Bottom line, Ivar is from Asgard and it would be really helpful to find out who he actually is.", I say, looking at Thor.
"I will go to Asgard as soon as possible.", Thor tells me.
I blink a few times, "You probably mean you and Loki are going to Asgard ...right?"
"He's staying here.", Thor informs me.
"With me?", I ask, pointing at myself.
"With Hagrid actually, but you will supervise him.", Thor tells me.
"Great.", I whisper.
"Did you inform Fury?", Thor asks.
"No, I will call him now.", I say, going trough my watch and pressing the name "Fury" typed on screen.
We wait a little but Fury doesn't pick up so I call Tony.
"Sup?", he answers.
"Where's Nick?", I ask.
"I don't know, I'm at home working on my new suit. Why?"
"We have new info.", I say.
"Care to share?"
"Silvers name is Ivar and he's from Asgard."
"Did reindeer games knew about this?", he asks and Loki rolls his eyes at Tony's nickname.
"He claims he didn't."
"Hmm, the God of lies telling us to believe him."
"I trust Loki.", Thor speaks and Tony chuckles, "I trusted Evie when she told me she didn't break my 5000$ vase but guess what? She did."
Now it's my turn to do the eye-roll.
"That's not the same.", Thor tells him.
"Yea, Evie's lie is way bigger than Loki's."
"Can you concentrate on the subject?", I ask Tony, getting annoyed by his attitude.
"I'm glad you have new info, I don't know where Fury is, keep calling him and eventually he'll answer and my advice is for Thor to go to Asgard and find things out.", Tony tells.
He's always uninterested while playing with his suits.
"I will go tomorrow.",Thor tells him.
"Great! Case closed."
"One more thing. Do you know a guy named Igor-", I look at Severus for help and he mouths Krakaroff, "Krakaroff. Igor Krakaroff.", I repeat.
"No idea. Why?"
"He claims he knows our parents.", I say.
"A lot of people know our parents, Evie.", he says in a matter of fact tone.
"Yes, but not people from the wizard world."
"Are you surprised that Howie knew about the wizard world and didn't tell anyone? That's like his whole personality, withholding important info then letting people fuck themselves trying to figure things out."
Years after he died, Tony's still bothered with stuff dad did.
"Yea, sure. Continue your work and we'll talk later. Bye.", I hang up before he can say anything else smart.
"Can you call Fury and tell him everything we know? I still have some parerwork to finish for Stark Industries.", I ask Thor and he nods.
X X X
"Your brother sounds-"
"Like an idiot? Self-centered, egoistic, not helpful at all?", I finish his sentence, still irritated with Tony's behavior.
"Sarcastic.", he simply tells as we walk trough the grounds, towards the castle.
"Yea, sarcastic.", I say.
"Like he's still mad at your father.", Severus continues.
"Can we change the subject? Please?", I say, looking at him and he nods.
"Still don't understand how Igor and my dad knew each other.", I comment.
"Igor is a death eater.", Severus informs me and I look at him, "What?"
"I told you not to trust him.", he tells me.
"But ...he knew my parents."
"He travels a lot so there's a possibility that he heard of your family but didn't know them personally. Don't let him mess with your mind."
"Does Dumbledore know about him?"
"Yes."
"Why does he let him stay in Hogwarts then? How can he be teaching in a school, or even lead a school?", I ask in shock.
"How come that the Malfoy's are free even though everyone knows that they followed and still follow Tom?", he asks, looking at me.
I shrug, "I don't know."
"Politics. Don't think we don't have that here."
"How come you work in Hogwarts even though you where a death eater?", I ask after a few moments.
"After Tom killed Lily, which he promised he wouldn't, I came to Dumbledore and asked for another chance. That's how I ended up as a double agent.", he explains.
"You really loved her.", I comment as we reach the castle.
He just looks at me, not saying anything so I change the subject, "I still have papers to work on."
"I have papers to grade. We can do our work together ...if you like.", he tells me and I smile a little, "Sure."
X X X
I sigh the fifth time probably, going trough the papers, not able to concentrate.
"You need help?", Severus asks, looking at me.
"How much do you know about sustainability, micro economy and market inflation?", I ask, looking at him.
"Yes, you're on your own.", he comments, returning his gaze to a paper in front of him.
My mind is filled with questions about Lily and our future. I'm starting to feel insecure and hate that. I never felt that way. I never cared that much I guess. I feel disgusting and out of my comfort bubble. And I hate when that interferes with my work.
"Can I ask you something?", I force myself to speak.
"You can try.", he tells me.
"When my mission ends, what will happen to us?", I ask.
He frowns but doesn't look up, "What do you mean?"
"I live in New York. S.H.I.E.L.D. is in New York.", I say, hoping he'll understand my point.
"Well, I never really liked America but I could adapt.", he tells and I smile, "Really? But, you teach in England."
"Floo network also works in America, you know.", he informs me casually.
"Oh, yea, I forgot about that.", I say, looking down to my papers.
"I didn't love her.", he speaks after a few minutes.
"What?", I ask, raising my head.
"Lily. I didn't love her, I idolized her. Those are two different things and I wasn't aware of that before but I am now."
"I understand.", I say, trying not to smile.
Now that the rock on my chest has been removed, I can do the work thoroughly while feeling a special warmth around my soul.
